Mastering Candle Care: Your Quick Guide to that Glow!

  • Place candle on a heat safe surface.

  • When lighting for the first time, allow top to fully melt until liquid wax has touched edges. This prevents tunneling.

  • ALWAYS trim wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. Reduces high flames and soot.

  • Keep debris out of candle ( wick pieces, matches )

  • Do not move candle when lit

  • Do not leave unattended

  • Keep away from pets, children, drafts and vents

  • Never burn longer than 3-4 hours. Burning longer creates carbon building on wick and smoking.

  • Do not extinguish with water

  • Put last of candle on electric wax warmer.

  • Freeze jar for few hours scrape out leftover wax and wick tab. Re-purpose your jar!
